I'm an artist living in Seaford - a small seaside town in East Sussex. I work from my studio at home, either making screenprints using hand drawn stencils, or else paintings, drawings and zines. Everything I do is low tech - partly because that suits me best, but also because I have prolonged Long Covid, and need to keep things simple.
I studied illustration at Brighton University and then Anglia Ruskin in Cambridge, where for a time I was an associate lecturer. I now concentrate on personal projects - making work that I find interesting and challenging. It's usually about people, and influenced by the books and comics I read as a child in the 50s/60s, or else more current films or tv programmes.
I like to exhibit my work, especially in group shows, and have shown my work in the UK and overseas. It's great to be part of a creative throng - always enlightening and inspirational.
In the last few years I have been part of a touring exhibition with the Thames Group of Artists - All kinds of Naughty - a tribute to Ian Dury. And in in the summer of 2023, I made work about 17th century schoolboys for an exhibition at the Willoughby Memorial Gallery in Lincolnshore - 'Sense of place', curated by Soraya Smithson. I like a project with a historial aspect, where I can indulge my love of research.
Currently I have a two screenprints in the Worthing Open 2024 exhibition, and was delighted to receive the Curator's Choice Award.
I hope you enjoy looking at my work. Let me know if you have any questions.
